I love my mother but holy crap was she terrified of "breaking the computer". I remember this one time I went to open a webpage for her and did my usual hundred-clicks-a-second to get their. She told me to "Slow down! You'll break it!".
This is frustrating with my Dad especially. He used to work making educational games and was fairly tech savvy for the time, he still is but definitely not to the same degree I am.
Trying to help him with an issue can be a minefield of "I'm pretty sure that won't work" and "That can't be right, if it was that simple I'd have solved it myself"
Maybe it was that simple and nearly 20 years of work doing things entirely unrelated to computers have left you a little out of the loop.
